The Old Rooster

A farmer went out one day and bought a brand new stud rooster for his chicken coop. The new young rooster strutted to the old rooster and said: "OK, old fart, time for you to retire!"

The old rooster replied, "Come on, surely you cannot handle all of these chickens. Look what it has done to me. Can't you just let me have the two old hens over in the corner?"

The young rooster said, "Beat it! You are washed up and I am taking over."

The old rooster replied, "I tell you what, I will race you around the farmhouse. Whoever wins gets the exclusive domain over the entire chicken coop."

The young rooster laughed and said, "You know you don't stand a chance, old man. So, just to be fair, I will give you a head start."

The old rooster took off running. About 15 seconds later, the young rooster also took off running after the old rooster. As they rounded the front porch of the farmhouse, the young rooster had closed the gap. He was only about 5 feet behind the old rooster and gaining fast when the farmer, who was sitting in his usual spot on the front porch saw the roosters running by with the old rooster squawking and running as hard as he can.

The farmer grabbed his shotgun and BOOM! Feathers flew in every direction. He blew the young rooster to smithereens. The farmer then sadly shook his head and said, "Darn it! That's the third gay rooster I've bought this month."

Moral of this story: Don't mess with old farts. Youth and arrogance are no match for age, experience, skill, wisdom, and a little treachery!
